A Wellington tram driver was disconcerted the other night, when he saw in front of him a motor-car stationary on the tramlines. He was more than astonished when he saw, as the tram drew nearer and the car did not move in response to his warning bell, that it was unoccupied. Not knowing what else to do, ho got out with a view to seeing if by some means or other the car could be moved, and to discover the reason for its being left in such a position. At this stage in the proceedings a woman rushed from the pavement and explained that she had stalled her car on the tramlines, and after several unsuccessful attempts to restart it she had fled to the security of the footpath on the approach of the tram. The car was eventually pushed out of the way.
